After most CITI modules there is a multiple choice quiz that relates to that module. In order to obtain credit for the training, individuals must complete the quiz after each module and obtain an overall average passing score of 80%. Individual quizzes may be retaken, if necessary, in order to obtain a passing score.

Additional modules designated as optional are available in CITI. Optional modules may be completed at the discretion of the individual, but they are not required. Optional modules become available after the required modules have been completed.

Continuing Education: Undergraduate Students

Continuing education may be required for undergraduate students based upon the protocol activities, the type of agents used in the activity, and any changes made to the protocol over time.
